the mist stayed on the other side of the river
fooling the other people
since then news from over there is scarse
and makes your head ache

ijo ijo ijo ijo ijo ijo ijo ijo...

jes
bum bum tres
that’s how they play, those who have no respect
for traditions, those who question our ways
of gaining
those who cheat

we comrades, we friends, we gentlemen
we are not here to make hot air
we are here to assure
our childrens future
their moral and material prosperity
so that they may attain knowledge
with which one day they may govern
a bigger territory
they may accumulate
they may feel at home
we will, comrades
we will, gentlemen
we will, brothers
always know how
when and to whom
to show our teeth
